1 problem is that the ds screen size is alot smaller that the psp, unless you plan on creating your own hinge/casing
I herd you like stealing quotes ey?
O.O I can tell those are you pics bad photoshoping on the 360 chatpadinto the psp and -.- a ds top on the psp
yeah, that is true...your gunna need a programmer
I have to say. I have had several really weird ideas, and it turned out that they were just not feasable in real life. But then again, Ben Heck does some really bizarre stuff to 360s, PS3s, and other things. Of course, they were meant to run the way they were built, but with enough creativity, and the right skills and tools, you COULD do it. Just like with my home row LED mod. WHY do it? Because I can, and to show that things others thought were impossible, lack of space or what have you, ARE possible, with the right effort.But I have to agree with some points and disagree with others from the previous posts:AGREE: It would be a pain to solder an extention for the LCD ribbon. I have done stuff like that before, and I really dont enjoy doing it. It is MUCH harder than you would expect. I would not be surprised if Alien would charge at LEAST $50 for something like that, maybe more.AGREE: Fitting the bottom part of the DS console to attach to the PSP, would take quite a bit of cutting, and melting or screwing the plasic cases together in some spots, and would not be very sturdy in the end.AGREE: Getting the hinge to work without bending the case to the point that it would break, would be kinda hard, unless you have a hinge that is well greased.DISAGREE: I actually think that if you COULD pull it off, it would not be as ugly as you think The only other guy I know that did it, had used a screen armor case and split the PSP parts in two places to get them where they were. It did not shut right, but if it COULD have, might not have been too bad. Your design looks better, but its just a DESIGN. Getting from concept to product, is NOT a small task. I am still working in designs to do case mods for my phat, but every time I think I have solved a problem, I find something wrong with the solution, so I have to go back to ground zero. For a first concept, its not all that bad, and if you could pull it off, might actually look pretty good.DISAGREE: Sure, PSPs were never designed to need a keyboard, but when your trying to type a message on the PSP in the internet browser for you email or something, SURE, its a pain in the butt to navigate to each letter, than have to hit that key so many times to get the right one. A keyboard would be great, but that programming is something even beyone MY level of expertise. Not something I would even like to poke into. I dont know how thick the parts of the chatpad are when taken apart, but I doubt they are as thin as the thickness of the LCD screen and faceplate combined. But if you dont mind some molding, and lots of mess, you could probably make it fit.There are plenty of alignment and thickness issues to take into account. But if your serious about doing this, take your time, draw out LOTS of diagrams, and take LOTS of measurments. Measure EACH part 50 times, whether you think you will need the measurement or not. It will REALLY help you out along the way. Dont overthink things either. That will start getting you confused, and you could end up doing something that you THINK will work, but when you get it all together, that ONE thing, causes EVERYTHING else to NOT work properly, so take your time. If you wish to persue this, I will keep my eye on it, and help you with what I can, within reason.
Also did you use PlayGearPocket? or the PGP slim version?
im not sure what you mean and i should add that i have not finished soldering the keyboard lazyness..... i hope to finish this weekend with it. and definately clean it up much more i plan to make another because this is just a prototype.edit:spelling error
Nice job man Im working on a new one too instead of the logitec thing im useing a joytech sun visor that screwes into the top and I extended the LCD cable with a FFCand put speakers in button holes its lookin real nice will be a nice clean finish except for the hole for the dual nub is like way too big lol.
well folklord wasn't the only one that attempted the laptop psp ideathis is my crappy version which i took from the pictures that was on this forumit looks different now. i cut off the edges by the screen.so people don't keep asking i never got a tutorial or anything i just used pictures and my imagination.it took me a little while to figure out what exactly he did but i think i got it. pm me for ideas so i can add to my project laterz-Mitchyps. found newer picturesguess whats behind itlast one for now...i have black tape around it to make it blend in more now.....

oo thats nice but it could but think about that visor can twist so you have an issue there unless u figure out like those one laptops that have a screen that can also turn. if you manage to figure out how that had that done and do it to the psp that would be cool.
